Extract from Rumex acetosa L. for Prophylaxis of Periodontitis: Inhibition of Bacterial In Vitro Adhesion and of Gingipains of Porphyromonas gingivalis by Epicatechin-3-O-(4β→8)-Epicatechin-3-O-Gallate (Procyanidin-B2-Di-Gallate) (original) (raw)

Influence of RA1 on the relative adhesion of FITC-labeled P. gingivalis to KB cells in the coincubation assay (90 min), determined by flow cytometric analysis.

Results are related to the untreated control (UC). The protease inhibitor Nα-tosyl-L-lysine chloromethyl ketone hydrochloride (TLCK, 1 mM) served as positive control (PC). Values represent the mean ± SD from three independent experiments; * p < 0.05; **: p < 0.01.
